We had a great start and we’re on our way to Honolulu. This is my 7th crossing and I’ve decided to go “unplugged” this year in order to focus on sailing and thinking. Sailing a smaller boat is a bigger challenge in that there are less of us and we all take a bigger role. Pegasus 52 is small for ten of us and we’re going to be very busy sailing this speedster all the way to Honolulu. Our goal is to beat the record set by Beau Geste in a similar boat in 2003. Over and out for the next 8 days and nights! Fly Pegasus Fly!
